“Blac chyna looking a damn mess at the vma’s,” read one tweet in reaction to her chainmail dress with Louboutins. “Amber Rose why why why why would you wear that to an award show?!” fired off another user who took issue with Rose’s all-red latex look with fishnets and thigh-highs.

Blake Lively has been on a recent media blitz wearing menswear-inspired suits and Louboutins with no shortage of praise.

Still, some viewers expected to see an edgy, youth-centric outfit for MTV. “I needed Blake Lively to dress a bit younger to the #VMA … Like this isn’t the Oscars..” a user tweeted. “Blake Lively dressed like the head mistress of an all-ghoul’s school,” another added.
